In Karachi, Imran beat his high profile rivalMQM’s Syed Ali Raza Abidi quite easily garnering 91,358 votes with Abidi winning just 24,082 votes. Imran had campaigned under the slogan "Wazir-e-Azam Karachi se" (Prime Minister from Karachi).
Similarly, Imran who hails from Lahore, beat PML-N’s Saad Rafique winning 84,313 votes. However, his margin for victory was rather narrow as Rafique won 83,633 votes as the poll battle went down to the wire with the Pathan from Lahore clinching the "match in the last over".

In the prestigious Islamabad 2 seat, Imran won a whopping 92,891 votes beating former Pakistan PMShahid Khaqan Abbasi who could get just 44,314 votes.
On Thursday as the ballot boxes were opened, Imran had scored a quick victory in Mianwali in Lahore. In the final analysis, the PTI chief took 162,499 votes trouncing his PML-N rival Obaidullah Shadikhel who finished runner-up with 49,505 votes.
